: Title IX BlogBreaking News: Supreme Court Holds Title IX DOES NOT PRECLUDE 1983 Claims
By Erin Buzuvis, Sudha Setty, and Kristine Newhall
Reversing the First Circuit, the Supreme Court held today in Fitzgerald v. Barnstable School Committee that an available remedy for sex discrimination under Title IX does not preclude a plaintiff from seeking to remedy that sex discrimination by suing also (or instead) under 42 U.S.C 1983, the private right of action for constitutional violations.
Oh and I guess I also have time to say that the decision was unanimous and written by Justice Alito.
More later!
